Mara grazing fields from late June. The dramatic

Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions are another
reason to pay this park a visit. The only kind of
their species in the world, they make the ancient
mahogany and elegant acacias their home during the
rainy season, and are a well-known but rather rare
feature of the northern park. In addition to the

Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous national
park, and it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square
kilometers of protected area that borders Kenya’s
Masai Mara Game Park. It is the Migration for which
Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million
wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from
the northern hills to the southern plains for the
short rains every October and November, and then
swirl west and north after the long rains in April,
May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to
move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested
river can hold them back. The Wildebeest travel
through a variety of parks, reserves and protected
areas and through a variety of habitat. Join us to
explore the different forms of vegetation and
landscapes of the Serengeti ecosystem and meet some
of their most fascinating inhabitants.
Day 9: Serengeti - Ngorongoro crater

The Ngorongoro crater is the world’s biggest whole
volcanic caldera at 8300 sq km and is arguably the
most stunning arena. It is frequently described as
one of the wonders of the world, not only because of
its geological magnificence, but also because it
serves as an extraordinary natural sanctuary for
some of Africa’s largest populations of large
mammals. Ngorongoro and other freestanding mountains
are volcanic in origin, formed during the fracturing
process that created the Rift valley 15 to 20
million years ago. When it peaked in size 3 million
years ago it was a similar height to Mt. Kilimanjaro
